Analysis of the figure of “Los Indignados” from Ulrich Beck’s the theory of subpolitic

Abstract

The following text intends to be the starting point for a reflection around the political, ethical and social processes derived from the figure of “the outraged”. Our study starts with an analysis of this movement, its origins, its thought and its actions; initially the attention will be focused on the case of Spain and then we’ll give a global view. In this way will be revealed an anxious person who hits bottom but at the same time struggles to emerge from this stage thanks to the rediscovery of itself impelled by the nonconformity, the active and participatory criticism and the interactive communication generated by no-bureaucratic media; the above ends up in  practical demonstration of the subpolitic theory of Ulrich Beck.
